Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of a zwitterionic osmolyte of formula as in claim 1 for reducing or abolishing non-covalent interactions of biological molecules to inert surfaces. Furthermore, the present invention relates to kits that may be employed for uses in accordance with the present invention.
- bovine serum albumin (BSA) is employed as a saturation agent prior to testing for the relevant antibodies or serum.
- BSA bovine serum albumin
- Other methods for reducing non-specific binding and/or edge effects on ELISA microtitre plates comprise the addition of sugar and/or alcohol, like glycerol to reaction mixtures, as disclosed in EP-A-0153875.
- PCR technology A technology that has in the most recent past revolutionized molecular biology is the PCR technology.
- major efforts have been and are presently undertaken to further improve facettes of this technology.
- One of these efforts is directed to the creation of microreaction volumes of PCR chips, i.e. microfabricated silicon chips bonded to a piece of flat glass to form a PCR reaction chamber; see, e.g., Shoffner et al., "Chip PCR. I. Surface passivation of microfabricated silicon-glass chips for PCR", Nucl. Acids Res. 24 (1996), 375-379.
- the technical problem underlying the present invention was to overcome the prior art problems detailed hereinabove and develop a system that reduces or eliminates undesired interactions of biological molecules with inert surfaces.
- the present invention relates to the use of a zwitterionic osmolyte with formula as in claim 1 for reducing or abolishing non-covalent interactions of biological molecules to inert surfaces.
- a zwitterionic osmolyte having the structural formula wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are H, CH 3 , C 2 H 5 or any other alkyl, and R is any amino acid residue, in a suitable concentration to a solution comprising a biological molecule will reduce, if not abolish the non-covalent interaction of said molecule with said surface.
- Osmolytes are found in a wide variety of water-stressed prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
- the three types of osmolyte systems found in all such organisms except for the halobacteria are polyhydric alcohols (such as glycerol and saccharose), free amino acids and their derivatives (such as taurine and ⁇ -alanine), and methylamines (e.g.
- TMAO trimethylamine-N-oxide
- betaine betaine
- sarcosine trimethylamines and urea
- One of the major advantages of the present invention is that the simple addition of a zwitterionic osmolyte having the formula as in claim 1 to such a solution conveniently reduces or abolishes the interaction of said molecules with a wide variety of inert surfaces. The special design or selection of an adequate surface for a specific experimental set-up or purpose is therefore no longer necessary.
- a further advantage of the present invention is that it allows for the simple design of a variety of previously crucial experiments and therefore saves time and costs for the interested investigator.
- biological molecule refers to organic molecules which are part of an organism or a living cell or derivatives of such molecules. These molecules may be of natural, synthetic or semisynthetic origin.
- inert has the meaning of “having little or no ability to chemically react”. It therefore bears the same meaning as inertness in connection with nitrogens which occurs uncombined in the atmosphere.
- said zwitterionic osmolyte is an amino acid or its methylation product.
- said zwitterionic osmolyte is betaine and preferably glycine-betaine.
- said osmolyte is present at a final concentration of 1 to 2.5 M.
- the advantageous properties of said osmolyte also emerge, if it is included in the reaction mixture at a lower concentration than 1 M. However, particularly advantageous results are obtained, if the osmolyte is present in a final concentration of 1 to 2.5 M.
- said biological molecule is a macromolecule.
- micromolecule in connection with the term “biological molecule” is perfectly clear to the person skilled in the art and need not be described here any further.
- said macromolecule is a carbohydrate, a polynucleic acid or a polypeptide, or combinations or modifications thereof. Said combinations or modifications need not necessarily have a biological function. In the alternative, their biological function may not be known in the art (yet); see, for example, the discussion about peptide nucleic acids (Nielsen et al., Science 254 (1991), 1497-1500) .Yet, said modified biological macromolecules may have essentially the same physicochemical properties as the biological macromolecules they are derived from and may find the same or similar applications e.g. in molecular biology.
- said biological molecule is a peptide or an oligonucleotide or combinations or modifications thereof.
- said polynucleic acid or oligonucleotide is DNA.
- DNA as used herein includes any type of DNA, in particular cDNA and genomic DNA.
- RNA is intended to mean any type of RNA and in particular mRNA.
- said inert surface is a silicon surface, a silicon wafer, a glass surface or combinations or chemical modifications thereof.
- said substance is a manufactured silicon.
- Said silicon may be obtained e.g., by standard manufacturing or processing techniques such as photolithography.
- the present invention additionally relates to a kit comprising at least
- the various components of the kit of the present invention are preferably formulated in standard reaction vials and independently of one another.
- concentrations used in the stock solutions comprised in the kit of the invention are suitable to allow an appropriate dilution of the osmolyte to be useful in the teachings of the present invention.
- the osmolyte is preferably contained therein in its final concentration. The ranges and limits of said final concentrations have been provided herein before in the specification.
- Figure 1 PCR in the presence of silicon particles and zwitterionic osmolytes
- PCRs were carried out on a 1.2 kb fragment of human genomic DNA in the presence of silicon particles (approx: 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.3 mm) and 1 M betaine.
- Lane 1 ⁇ -BstEII marker
- lanes 2-5 PCR (50 ⁇ l) carried out in buffer with water and different amounts of silicon particles: lane 2: 10 particles; lane 3: 50 particles; lane 4: 75 particles; lane 5: no particles as a control
- lanes 6-9 PCRs (50 ⁇ l) carried out in buffer with 1 M betaine and different amounts of silicon particles: lane 6: 10 particles; lane 7: 50 particles; lane 8: 75 particles; lane 9: no particles as a control.
- Figure 2 PCR in the presence of silicon powder and zwitterionic osmolytes
- PCRs were carried out on a 1.5 kb fragment of human genomic DNA in the presence of silicon powder and molar concentrations of betaine. Note that the PCRs in molar concentrations of betaine allow efficient and specific PCR amplification and reduce the inhibiting effect of silicon surfaces.
- Lane 1 ⁇ -BstEII marker
- lane 2 PCR carried out in a standard PCR buffer without any silicon powder
- lanes 3-6 PCR reaction carried out with 4.6 mg of silicon powder in 100 ⁇ l PCR volume
- lane 3 water based buffer
- lane 4 0.5 M betaine
- lane 5 1 M betaine
- lane 6 2 M betaine.
- Example 1 PCR in the presence of silicon particles and zwitterionic osmolytes
- each primer M13-40 (24-mer): 5'-CGCCAGGGTTTTCCCAGTCACGAC-3'; M13-Rev (24-mer): 5'-TTTCACACAGGAAACAGCTATGAC-3'), 100 ⁇ M of each dNTP, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 and 2.5 Units of Taq DNA polymerase in a total volume of 50 ⁇ l.
- Reaction mixtures containing betaine were prepared by adding the required mixture of water and a 5 M stock solution of betaine to the final reaction volume of 50 ⁇ l. The mixtures were cycled 30 times at 94°C for 20 sec, 55°C for 30 sec and at 73°C for 2 min 30 sec.
- Example 2 PCR in the presence of silicon powder and zwitterionic osmolytes
- PCRs were carried out in 1x buffer (10 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.8 and 50 mM KCI) in water only (Fig. 2, lane 2) and 4.6 mg of silicon powder (Fig. 2, lanes 3-6) in water (Fig. 2, lanes 3), 0.5 M betaine (Fig. 2, lane 4), 1 M betaine (Fig. 2, lane 5), 2 M betaine (Fig.
